What is the highway fuel consumption of the Volkswagen Tiguan?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Volkswagen Tiguan ranges from 6.9 to 9.6 liters. Due to varying driving environments, road conditions, and individual driving habits, the actual fuel consumption may differ. The Volkswagen Tiguan uses 95-octane fuel, which is relatively more expensive. Below are some details about fuel consumption and tips to reduce it: 1. Fuel consumption is influenced by road conditions and consistent driving speed. It tends to be higher during the break-in period. In winter, lower temperatures reduce gasoline atomization and combustion efficiency, while in summer, using air conditioning increases engine load, resulting in slightly higher fuel consumption compared to spring and autumn. 2. Properly manage warm-up time in the morning and driving distance. Maintain correct tire pressure or consider switching to larger tires. 3. Plan routes to avoid congested roads and frequent lane changes. Avoid prolonged idling without turning off the engine or frequent restarts. 4. Avoid aggressive acceleration and frequent braking. Use the recommended grade of engine oil. 5. Do not drive at high speeds in low gears or at low speeds in high gears. Avoid fully opening windows in summer or using air conditioning in heavy traffic.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Tiguan for several years now, and on the highway, the fuel consumption generally stays between 7.5 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, heavily dependent on driving rhythm. If the speed is steady at 100-110 km/h, the fuel consumption might be close to 7.5 liters; but accelerating beyond 120 km/h or frequent overtaking can easily push it up to 9 liters. I remember once on a long trip with four people and luggage, the fuel consumption jumped to 9.5 liters. The trick to saving fuel lies in smooth driving: avoid sudden acceleration and braking, anticipate traffic to reduce stops. Additionally, vehicle maintenance also plays a big role; for example, after an oil change, the fuel consumption dropped a bit. In hot weather with the air conditioning on, fuel consumption increased by about 10%. Overall, as an SUV, the Tiguan performs quite well on the highway, being more fuel-efficient than some of its counterparts.
